The economic improvement in December, with an increase of 27.5% in CIF imports and a favorable exchange rate, also promoted tax revenues.
In January 2025, the net tax revenues of the Central Government (discounted in tax returns) reached S/16,062 million, with a 10.5% growth compared to the same month of 2024. This is the third consecutive month with rates of two digit growth and the eighth of sustained increase.
The result was mainly based on the continuity of the strategy implemented by the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat) that involves the optimization of its processes related to the facilitation, control and recovery of tax obligations, which allowed to collect S/1,946 million for payment of tax debt (21.5% more than in 2024), detect S/380 million in breaches (+417%), raise additional S/120 million for foster care and obtain S/700 million for contested debt payments, eight times more than last year. In addition, IGV collection to digital services exceeded S/50 million.
It also influenced the favorable performance of the economy in December, with an increase of 27.5% in CIF imports and a higher exchange rate (S/3.76 per dollar). Recent standards, such as the selective consumption tax rate (ISC) to beer at 0.047% of the ITU, and the exceptional regime of income tax, provided additional income.
